Já Sabe
Simone e Simaria
The Honest Confession of a Troubled Heart
Simone e Simaria's song "Já Sabe" is a candid and raw confession of a person who acknowledges their own flaws and warns their lover about the potential heartbreak that lies ahead. The lyrics are a direct plea for the lover to stay away, as the singer admits to being a problematic individual who is incapable of true love. This self-awareness is both a strength and a vulnerability, as the singer openly admits, "Eu nunca prestei e nem vou prestar" (I never was good and never will be).
The recurring line, "Coração que nasce torto, nunca vai se apaixonar" (A heart that is born crooked will never fall in love), serves as a metaphor for the singer's belief that they are inherently flawed and incapable of forming a genuine romantic connection. This metaphor highlights a sense of fatalism and resignation, suggesting that the singer sees their own nature as unchangeable. The repeated warnings to the lover to stay away underscore the singer's desire to protect them from inevitable pain.
Despite the warnings, the singer also leaves the door open for the lover to stay, but with a clear understanding of the situation. The lines, "Mas se quiser entrar, já sabe / Que eu tenho mais de um amor nessa cidade" (But if you want to come in, you already know / That I have more than one love in this city), reveal a complex emotional landscape where the singer is involved with multiple people. This admission adds another layer to the song, portraying a life of emotional entanglements and fleeting connections. The song's honesty and raw emotion make it a poignant exploration of self-awareness, love, and the complexities of human relationships.
